Tips for prospective students

There's a lot to say about Delhi concerning all the aspects. Be aware that it is in a small town and the closest large town (Oneonta) is a 30-minute drive away. There isn't much to do in Delhi unless you know how to entertain yourself. Every Saturday there are two buses that go to Oneonta and pick you up a couple hours later. There are lots of clubs and there is also Greek life. I am a Vet Sci student in the Equine Club and the secretary of the sorority ZDT. To find something to do you really just have to put yourself out there. Of course, just like anywhere else you have to realize that there are some people and activities you don't want to be around, or maybe you do. You're experience at college is mostly your choice. I've only been to one party in the two semesters I've been at Delhi because they're just not my kind of scene. In Farrell every weekend they have a performer (mostly comedians) come and they also put on current movies which are free of cost for students. I have AT&T and find that my service works very well all over campus, although I've heard problems from people who have Verizon. The dorms are nice and depending on where your room is you can get a really nice view. The walls are not 100\% sound proof so if your neighbor is speaking really loudly or playing loud music you will hear it. The lounges in the halls are really good places to meet people. The laundry room in Dubois does kinda suck because people are always breaking the washers and dryers and leaving messes as well. As for classes and teachers, mostly like in your first semester and maybe your second semester you will have a lot of classes in The Pit, the largest lecture hall. All the teachers are very personable and care about your success as a student. Naturally a lot of them have their own quirks which makes them all the more wonderful or irritating, depending on your point of view. All in all, Delhi is a beautiful place for people who like a slower pace of life and having closer relationships with their teachers.

I've been accepted into SUNY Delhi and have been researching it for the longest. The dorms look like my favorite place, but the reviews are discouraging me. I plan to visit the college before deciding, I'll update my review

In three sentences

suny delhi is great school for education. the professors know their students on a name bases and are willing to see all their students pass and graduate on time. all majors on the campus have a high graduation rate with a high percentage of getting a job after graduation.

ANGELICA from BROOKLYN, NY

There is an on-campus University police force both on cars and on bicycles. I find my campus to be very safe and police staff to be helpful, courteous, and friendly!

Greek Life

SUNY Delhi has an active Greek life, but I do not have time to be a part of it. I do see many BBQ's and social events planned by them, and I hear they are fun. More info is on SUNY Delhi's website.

Clubs and Activities

There is a LARGE number of clubs and activities. As i said there are D3 teams and many intramural sports. There are BBQ's and movies and trips. I am a two sport athlete which is VERY do-able here. The adviser works with you to arrange your academic schedule to allow for your sports schedule.

Great for these types of students

This college is great for a focused, academically average student who isn't looking for a huge campus. It has a diverse student body and every aspect of the campus is quickly learned. The sports program allows all to try out with a good chance of making a team. An the intramurals are a lot of fun, where everyone can participate.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

SUNY Delhi is one of four Northeast colleges to have an 18 hole golf course. I actually am looking forward to spring when I can check it out.

Bang for the buck

Including room and board, SUNY Delhi is under $20,000. My mom is constantly praising the affordability. A student can load Delhi dollars as a form of payment in the bookstore or vending machines and even use them in town at local shops and eateries.

What to do for fun

There are many intramural sports, Collegiate sports, and always a planned activity or movie going on. Oneonta is a 30 minute, free shuttle bus ride away from campus. In the town of Delhi, there are flea markets and nice restaurants to visit. The scenery especially in the Fall is spectacular, and many Frisbee tournaments can be found on campus.

Food and Dining

I'm glad I found the food pretty good. There are many convenience spots and ice cream and bagels places, while not top names, they serve the purpose. The omelets are very good!

Dorm Life

The Dorms are well maintained. I am in a 2 person dorm and find it comfortable. The bathrooms are very clean and the RA's and RD are very helpful.

Academic Rigor

This is a non-SAT based school but the professors expect you to master their syllabi. There's a lot of involvement and plenty of time to achieve your deadlines. The library is well equipped to meet your needs especially during midterms and finals.

Tips for prospective students

SUNY Delhi is a 2 and 4 year degree college. If you're not 100% sure of your future major but want the dorm and college experience, acquiring a two-year degree in a number of interesting majors makes this college a great choice. It is country living but a comfortable bus ride to NYC where you can catch up on sleep or reading. I do not have a car but the free shuttle does run well and takes you back and forth to town, which is 5 minutes away, but somewhat hilly.

In three sentences

The professors are so involved in your success. The dorms are very well-suited to your needs. The campus is NOT gigantic so you never feel lost!

Cassie from Rochester, NY

Have not heard bad about them other than people complaining that they will occasionally search Russell Hall with dogs since it constantly smells like weed in there.

Greek Life

Thats what makes up this school. Its just a bunch of people who pay to make friends and throw parties. If you are in greek life, it will take over your life. Many people talk bad about greek life here since they think they are everything, when most fail out within a semester.

Clubs and Activities

I don't know a lot of people to do clubs. There are some clubs here that are interesting though.

Great for these types of students

Partiers and students who want to join greek life. Nursing and Vet Science Students. Smokers and alcoholics.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Nothing unusual. Thirsty Thursday is a must at this college. F***ed up Friday is too. Weekends are drinking. Tuesday are a must for parties. Oh yeah, and Wednesday. Only mondays are quieter at this college.

Bang for the buck

Depending on your major its worth your money if you study and do good in classes. a good 95% of students are paying to party and join a frat or sorority to make friends. Basically, many students pay to make friends and get drunk every night.

What to do for fun

Well if you party, you will have so many friends and a fun time in college. If you join greek life, you'll have fun. If you do neither, go home every weekend or else you will sit in your dorm regretting you ever came here. Everyone is here to party and in the spring there will be no one on campus since they all failed out. There no town except a price chopper and mcdonalds. To get to some civilization is a good 40 minute drive.

Food and Dining

Its the same food everyday so you will probably get sick of it. Farrell center ha pretty good food station like subs, pizza, burritos and a grille with food made to order. Mac Hall is so gross and I advise you to not go there. You get sick off of anything you eat there and the for is the same everyday basically.

Dorm Life

Dorms here are disgusting. You will feel like you're living on welfare and in the projects. Its so loud every night that you will get a good 3 hours of sleep every night. Theres weave all over the floor since its all black girls here mainly and there puke all over on weekends since everyone parties. Dorms are very small and dirty looking, but live able. Dubois is the quietest and close to everything. Russell is the worst and try hard to not get that hall.

Academic Rigor

Depends on your major. You will have hours of homework every night if you major in Vet science and nursing. Other than that, classes are extremely easy here. Most of the school is just in liberal arts so they don't have a lot of classes and hardly any homework.

Tips for prospective students

Only come here if you are a Nursing or vet sic major. If you are a huge partier and like getting drunk every night, this place is for you. I came here to study and do good in my classes so its really hard for me to make any friends and have anything to do on the weekends since i don't like to party a lot and would rather study and stay in. I go home every weekend now.

In three sentences

SUNY Delhi is only for people who love to party and do drugs or smart vet sci and nursing students. It is a good school regarding good classes and professors but the students that attend are here for parties and friends. h, and theres no service here so do not bother trying to talk to friends back home or check social media. It works about 5% of the time. You cannot make a phone call unless you go outside in the middle of campus where you get some service.

All right food wise but I suggest not going to MacDonald Hall too often (stomach problems).

Dorm Life

Good in most hall except for Russell because its the biggest and has a lot of nooks and crannies where noise levels can be really high and they wont get caught. They have great t.v, rooms in most of the hall where you can watch t.v. with a large group of people.

Academic Rigor

Good teachers with good systems to teach you things and stick.

Tips for prospective students

Bring a coat during the winter since its in the mountain it is cold and windy. Be active in clubs and make good friends. Study hard nu find time for fun because the stress of college and being far from home can bring you down.

In three sentences

Good culinary program, with good professors. Compact, small, and quite. Still a lively bunch of people trying to get education.

Jamilah from New York, NY

At Delhi, there is a very huge Greek Community. There are 17 Recognized organizations that hold various fun events on campus.

What to do for fun

With the Student Programming Board and different Greek organizations, there are always fun programs for students to do. The school hosts fashion shows, talent shows, art programs, gaming programs, and holiday parties.

Food and Dining

The dining here is pretty cool. There is a large selection of food venues and meal plans to fit everyone's food preferences.

Dorm Life

Dorm Life here at Delhi is great. Students here get the benefit of a nice space to live with many accommodations and great programs for the students whenever we get bored.

Academic Rigor

The work is very useful for the real world. At SUNY Delhi the students are expected to work hard to earn great grades.

Tips for prospective students

Prospective students should come to school prepared to do work. They should also join clubs or organizations to become involved on campus because it is great for their transcript.

In three sentences

SUNY Delhi is a very diverse campus. There are always campus activities to attend. The classes taught here are very helpful and hands- on

Cady from Norwich, NY

Absolutely! Suny at delhi is very affordable. Some costs are even waived for online students without any questions.

What to do for fun

Off-campus online student

Food and Dining

Off-campus online student

Dorm Life

Off-campus online student

Academic Rigor

The courses offered through SUNY Delhi are challenging and encourage the students to think deeply.

Tips for prospective students

SUNY schools offer a great, affordable education. SUNY Delhis online learning is wonderful. The staff makes sure you are notified of upcoming events on campus even as an off campus student. The staff also ensures that you are on the right track to achieving your degree at your pace. Meetings are scheduled each semester with your advisor to make sure things are going well also.

In three sentences

SUNY Delhi has a very effective and learner friendly online class system. The resources available for the online students are readily available without much hassle. The application, acceptance, and plan for graduation are easy and the staff at Delhi is very informative.

Darynn from Cayuga, NY

I am apart of ZDT an academic sorority and spend a lot of time doing community service, we are currently raising money for relay for life.

Clubs and Activities

There are a lot of activities o do on campus. I am apart of college players, which is the schools drama club, we but on shows each semester. I am also apart of NYSAVT which is a club for the veterinary technology students.

What to do for fun

I like to spend my time studying, or in the animal rooms enriching the dogs and cats, because it takes off some stress in doing so. I am also apart of an academic sorority so I do a lot of community service in my spare time.

Food and Dining

The food at Delhi is not the best but maybe one day they will be up too par.

Dorm Life

The resident halls are all very nice.

Tips for prospective students

Delhi can be a pretty tough school to get though, it is very important to focus on your studies so that you don't get behind.

In three sentences

This school was very beneficial for me to get my start into a career with animals. The atmosphere, teachers and facilities were grate, and it couldn't have been a better experience. Although i am sad to leave this school I am looking forward to going to another school to continue my education.

Campus Safety

Excellent!

Greek Life

There are recognized and unrecognized. It's okay. A lot of people pledge their first semester which isn't a terrible thing but it's easy to get sidetracked. They're nice... depends. You need a 2.5 GPA to pledge.

Clubs and Activities

Uh... there's not that many clubs. And usually they're not that interesting.

Great for these types of students

Vet sci, vet tech, architecture, golf management, business, nursing.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

At the same damn time! Also, there are usually very little people in the spring semester because half the people fail out their fall semester. FYI.

Bang for the buck

Yeah, I guess if you're in state.

What to do for fun

There's not much to do on campus unless you like beer pong or you can drive. There's very little people on campus on the weekends.

Food and Dining

It's not that bad but it gets pretty bad if you have to eat it all the time. There's a pasta station, a burrito station, subs, burgers, pizza, and salads in Farrell. Avoid MacDonald Hall unless you want the mac attack.

Dorm Life

Depends. Russell is noisy and the rooms are ridiculously small. O' Connor serves triples and constantly smells like marijuana. Gerry and DuBois are closest to academic and food halls but Gerry is filled with sorority girls and DuBois is 24/7 quiet (it's not that bad). I don't know much about Murphy. Also, DuBois and Gerry have gross walls but they have the largest rooms out of all dorms.

Academic Rigor

Oh, this really depends on your teachers and what classes you're taking. Workload isn't too bad if you know how to pace yourself. Other than that, it's not that terrible. Try not to have more than 17 credits at a time and you'll be okay.

Tips for prospective students

Apply for the dorms you want early, don't over pack. Being winter clothes. Try to meet your roommate beforehand.

In three sentences

It's okay depending on what you like and where you're from. The scenery is nice. The school is either city kids or country kids though. People aren't that tolerant and not that liberal from what I see anyway.

Alice from Walton, NY

Being in the middle of absolutely no where it is difficult to find fun things to do for teenagers and young adults.

Food and Dining

Like any college campus the food is terrible, however the diversity is nice. I wish there were more vegetarian.vegan options.

Dorm Life

Dorm life depends on your dorm and your major. In Dubois hall it is generally used for students like vet sci and nursing who take their studies very seriously. Within the hall there are special accommodations for these students such as 24 hour quiet hallways and a learning room with peer mentors.

Academic Rigor

This really depends on your course load. Veterinary technology students have a very demanding course load and are always seen studying or practicing for some kind of exam. Landscaping or Electrical students have a smaller course load, but do more lab hours.

Tips for prospective students

Take care of financial aide early. The financial aide office lacks a lot to be desired with this campus. However, once passed that headache, you are sure to fall in love.

In three sentences

Overall this is very nice school. A smaller campus is a nice learning environment and the class sizes are decent. I love the location, convenience, and opportunities that have been offered to me here.

Rachelle from Buffalo, NY

The Campus is really safe, your never far from a police car, and they do a super job patrolling the campus and dorms. Helping students and doing their jobs.

Greek Life

I don't know much about Greek Life, but what I can tell you is, there are a lot of reconigzed fraternities and soroities. For such a small campus we have a lot.

Clubs and Activities

There are so many different types of clubs, that are always welcoming to new members. Some of my favorite are the SBP (student program board), Glee club, Baking Club, and Escoffier club (culinary club). but there is also a epic movie club and snowboarding club.

Great for these types of students

City kids would want to experience the country, at night the sky above campus is full of stars. The campus is surrounded by mountains, the view is to die for.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

One of my favorite places to go at night is the fountain outisde of Smith Hall. It's quiet and peaceful at night with just the sound of water.

Bang for the buck

Your student activites fee is so worth paying because the school brings so many cool things to Delhi with it. Delhi takes your tutition and puts it right back into the school to make it better. Keeping everything updated and the technology new.

What to do for fun

The Student Activites office, Greek Life, and Student Program Board have fun things going on all the time during Common Hour (12-1), on the weekends, and some week day afternoon and nights. There is usually a movie every weekend, comedians, bands, games (ex: grocery bingo, tye dye t-shirts, etc.) and so much more.

Food and Dining

There are three options. One Mac Hall which is a buffet style and very delicious, love it for the refills and to keep going back to get food. Farrell Hall is you pay per item, great grilled cheese! And third you can go into town and use your Delhi Dollars at some of the partcipating locations in town.

Dorm Life

Murphy Hall is the best, it is very homey. Everyone knows everyone else, we're all very excepting of others, and friendly.

Academic Rigor

The classes are fairly easy to keep up with, just as long as you keep up with the reading.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure to bring shower shoes and a good winter coat and sweats. It is cold in the mornings, then hot in the afternoons and cold at night

In three sentences

Delhi is very welcoming and very quickly feels like home. The staff is so eager to help and get involved. The campus and facilities are beautiful, Delhi is better then I could have ever imagined.

What to do for fun

I enjoy running. I try to take at least an hour out of my day for exercise. My busy lifestyle of working as an RN and finishing my BSN can make things seem out of control. Specifically running makes me feel empowered.

Food and Dining

I do my classes online so don't use any of my school's dining or eating facilities. Student life makes for a busy lifestyle, so taking the time to have quick, but healthy food available in you're living quarters is very important. My favorite snack is apples with peanut butter!

Dorm Life

I don't live in a dorm, but am living with two other people who are also attending college. It is nice to have people in your life who are dealing with similar experiences whom you can relay ideas to.

Academic Rigor

Setting aside time to be completely focused on studying is paramount to be successful in college. A calm, quiet environment should be established the very first day of classes. Rewarding yourself for the hard work is a great motivator.

Tips for prospective students

I would suggest setting realist goals for yourself when attending college. Keeping the perspective that each semester is a building block to what you are trying to accomplish will help you to keep focused during the process.

In three sentences

SUNY College of Technology at Delhi is very affordable. It has made it easy to complete by bachelors of science in nursing by offering online classes. The curriculum will hopefully make me a better nurse and allow me to complete my professional goals.

We celebrate certain food days at the dining hall and we also have res week.Where we do various activities in our resident halls its sort of like a big carnival.

Bang for the buck

Celebrities come to our school once in a while to visit and perform. J Cole performed at my school during my freshmen year. Also well know comedians make an appearance during the semesters.

What to do for fun

The greek life is pretty cool and greek week is awesome. College is what you make of it and I think if you get yourself involve with many activities you cant get bored. The school party's are also fun and comedy shows.

Food and Dining

The food is very fresh, being that Delhi is surrounding my farms. Due to Delhi's great culinary program the food choices are so bad. They often give the same food everyday, sort of feels like high school lunch.

Dorm Life

Keep a close eye on your stuff and make sure you lock your door even going to the bathroom. The room are a bit small depending on where you stay. The renovate the dorms every summer, which is good.

Academic Rigor

The academic are just important as any other college so its to be taken seriously. There are some great professors and there are some not so great professors. The sciences and math courses are a bit difficult, but the arts course are doable.

Tips for prospective students

Please do your research and really look into the majors..many major lead into demanding careers. It's not easy so don't feel like this is a high school, they will dismiss anyone who isn't getting above C's. Go to open house orientations and be sure to get all your questions answered.

In three sentences

They have great food, entertainment and environment. Its a small campus with many professors on board to assist students in all aspects. If you're looking for individual attention Delhi is the way to go.

Dion from Rosendale, NY

The university police are always available, not only do they have a station on campus but they patrol the building as well. You can see them in the dining halls and classrooms as well.

Greek Life

The Greek Life is great. The sororities and fraternities are always giving back to the campus and local community

Great for these types of students

Students going into technology majors will enjoy it here. There is plenty of hands on experience. Whether you are in the electrical technology major wiring things together or in the turf management major learning how to lay down turf, you gain great knowledge by performing skills hands on.

What to do for fun

Go to the gym on campus. It has a huge view of the valley. The indoor sports center is enjoyable too. You can play basketball, tennis, soccer etc.

Food and Dining

The food delicious and the dining is convenient. Because there is a culinary program on campus, the culinary students make the food and know what their peers enjoy.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is great. All your living needs are pretty much provided for you. The resident assistants and directors are very nice and wont bother you if you behave appropriately. Dorms allow you to meet many people.

Academic Rigor

The academics are difficult enough to challenge each student.

Tips for prospective students

If you are coming to Delhi and are in a technology program, it is very important to pay attention in your hands on lab classes. This is where you'll learn the most.

In three sentences

SUNY Delhi contains a beautiful campus located in the valley of the Catskill Mountains. The staff and faculty are always there to help. The facilities are being updated every few months to be more environmentally friendly.

Nicolle from Bronx, NY

Campus safety is great so far. I have not seen or heard of anything out of the usual. i walk in the night alone and feel pretty safe. of course there are a few fights sometimes, but nothing extreme

Greek Life

Greek life is allright, almost everyone you know will be in it. The only bad thing is the all of our greeks are only known locally, not nationally.

Clubs and Activities

The clubs are great. We have a club of almost anything you can think of.

Great for these types of students

Delhi is great for students who enjoy an education that provides a hands on experience.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

My most favorite thing about delhi is being able to look up at the amazing sky, full of stars in the night. you dont see that in the city. Also i experienced the cancer walk last year for the first time and it was so amazing to see so many people come together.

Bang for the buck

Our school isn't the most expensive, however for me specifically i need more money to help me pay for school. i don't want to depend on my parents and loans to help me out.

What to do for fun

I'm involved in a few clubs, so sometimes there are activities to either during the week or weekends. If not i will usually hangout with friends and if they have a car we are able to go bowling or the movies in oni.

Food and Dining

The food is really bad at Delhi. At first you will think it's great, but after having the same thing everyday, you will get bored of it. The worst thing is there aren't a lot of places to choose from, if you want to get something from outside.

Dorm Life

It could be better. There should be more modern buildings for us to live in.

Academic Rigor

Academically the school is great. I love the fact that our school provides us with hands on work.

Tips for prospective students

Get involved in everything or anything you can. If you really want to study for hospitality then Delhi will be the perfect place, because it gives you the opportunity to study hands on, but other than that i don't recommend it, to just study liberal arts.

In three sentences

SUNY Delhi is great when it comes to the student body and the courses and the professors, but when it come to the social life there isn't anything to do. If you aren't involved on campus then you will be bored and if you don't have a car the only place you will be going is price chopper.

Betsey, New York NY

The campus is very safe, there are always University Police around and on the weekends, RA's sit in the front of the dorms and make sure that no one who isn't supposed to be there comes in.

Greek Life

Both recognized and unrecognized fraternities and sororities.

Clubs and Activities

SUNY Delhi has everything you can imagine as far as clubs go. I would definitely recommend joining a club if you are enrolled in the hospitality program. You go on awesome trips and put on some really cool events. There is also a student activity calendar that is given out every semester that shows all the events that are going on. SUNY Delhi gets everything from comedians, to weekend movies, and many other fun activities.

Great for these types of students

Great for students who are seeking a career in hospitality, construction management, vet science, and nursing.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There isn't anything unusual.

Bang for the buck

The great thing about SUNY Delhi is that the school is not that big so it is very easy to get around. Also you don't feel lost in the crowd because there is only about 3,000 students there.

What to do for fun

Join clubs or get involved in Greek life!

Food and Dining

The food is decent, however it would be nice if they had more options and if food was offered 24/7. Also the food can be very expensive.

Dorm Life

The dorms are nice, but try to avoid getting into Russell Hall because it is very loud there.

Academic Rigor

SUNY Delhi is definitely one of the best places to go for seeking a career in hospitality in not only New York, but in the country.

Tips for prospective students

For students who enroll in the hospitality program, make sure you have a strong means of communication with you professors. Everyone in the hospitality department is like a big happy family. It is so important to be on the same page as your professors because it will only help you in the long run.

In three sentences

This will be my final year at SUNY Delhi and I am extremely pleased with the education that I have gotten there. The hospitality program at SUNY Delhi is probably one of the best in the country. I would highly recommend any student who is seeking a career within the hospitality industry to definitely consider SUNY Delhi if they want to receive a substantial education.

Great for these types of students

The college is really well set up for any students interested in the fields of Technology and Hotel Management

In three sentences

A beautiful campus set in a small town so you are not distracted by to much partying yet near some larger towns for the weekend. Campus facilities seemed really clean and new. The dorms were in very good condition and the food was really good.

Tiffany from Bronx, NY

Approximately 17 Sororities and Fraternities such as Sigma Omega Epsilon sorority and Delta Omega Epsilon Fraternity.

Clubs and Activities

Clubs for every interest. You cant be bored at SUNY Delhi as long as your involved.

Bang for the buck

For the education we're it is cheap in comparison to other colleges.

What to do for fun

There is a multitude of clubs and teams to join. We also have sororities and fraternities that are very active on campus.

Food and Dining

Variety of options however I wish there were tastier vegetarian options

Dorm Life

Dorms are clean for the most part. The problem is certain students being unhygienic.

Tips for prospective students

Delhi is best for Hospitality students, we have a great culinary program, Vet Sci is strong here as well as our nursing program. My advice is you can have lots of fun at this college but don't take the great opportunities at Delhi for granted because if you ever decide to transfer to a bigger University you will never get the same guidance as you would at SUNY Delhi.

In three sentences

Teachers play close attentions to there students. They make themselves readily available so that students will always get the help they need. In addition my professors have experience in the field I want to get into and I love to hear their stories as well as helpful tips.

Dustin from Delhi, NY

never heard of any crimes that take place on campus and campus police are state troopers.

Greek Life

plenty greek life here, lots of college identified and unidentified frats/sororities.

Clubs and Activities

every club i've been to is small and there isn't much to fill my interests. unfortunately, it's the only thing to do without getting into trouble.

Great for these types of students

party-goers or quiet country people.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

we have winterfest and lan-fest. winterfest are your normal winter festival events. lan-fest is playing video games with a group of nerds until the sun rises.

Bang for the buck

sixty-four thousand dollars for a bachelors degree sounds pretty good for me. it's especially cheap if you commute.

What to do for fun

here is the biggest flaw of this college. delhi is in the middle of nowhere. nothing to do here except study, join a club or two, and party.

Food and Dining

it's not great, but it can be worse, much worse. there's two cafeterias here, which are completely different, and a corner store. my biggest complaint is that some times of the day there is no where to get food. also, you might want to pack tums.

Dorm Life

it's not how i would like it, but it's livable. on the plus side, the bathrooms get cleaned every weekday morning. if you don't like noise, consider getting ear plugs or commute. it's not great, but i doubt you'll find anywhere much better then this.

Academic Rigor

professors here are either hit or miss. i've heard stories and learned to avoid those professors. all of the professors i've had are fair and good at teaching, but don't expect a free pass here. lots of homework.

Tips for prospective students

don't go to russell hall unless you like loud music. dubois hall is very quite on the girl's wing. most importantly, bundle up because it can get chilly up here.

In three sentences

the title of this college can be deceiving because it is not really a technology school. this school is better suited for students who are interested in golf or nursing. for a suny school, you will get your moneys worth.

Great for open-minded people, ready to engage conversation with anyone, because at Delhi you will see a wide range of individuals. For those who excel when comfortable, this small community provides a comfortable setting.

Tips for prospective students

Get involved! Sign up for clubs!! Try out for sport teams! Like any place you are, if you stay isolated and cooped up in your room, you will be miserable. But there's enough students to where you will always be meeting new people and seeing different faces. Besides keeping up with your schoolwork, try finding work on campus or in town that will keep you involved. What I really enjoyed most was the weekly work-out sessions provided by the school that I took full advantage of. The trainer, Reagan, is amazing and keeps you working to your full potential!

Bang for the buck

Is one of the cheaper routes to go for school besides community college. Delhi is expanding and building, so tuition costs are rising as well. Lots of activities throughout the year, some seem a bit childish, but others were real interesting and exciting.

Did enjoy being here

Good school to start off your college experience with, especially if going to community college doesn't make sense to you as for me. Laid-back, easy-going feel for your freshman year, which helps to get accustomed to a new surrounding. Sports teams are easier to make, as I made the swim and tennis team at Delhi with no prior experience in either sport, besides just recreational. Cool clubs and different array of people.

Did learn a lot

In the veterinary science program, it was more of an information overload, which leaves you not knowing the major points. After the two years, I didn't feel confident with my knowledge, except for my hands-on experience. Though the labs weren't as they were made out to be. The instructors graded harshly on a strange and biased criteria. Not all were like that though, only a couple actually wanted to be there, which was made quite obvious.

Veterinarian Technicians, Culinary, Golf majors.

Tips for prospective students

I have no idea how the campus was in the previous years, but as I right this review it is 2011. When coming to SUNY Delhi you need to have your wits in tack. There are many great, friendly students at this college,but be on the look out for those students who only want to have a good time. They will surely led you astray. Even though it may seem dull, the campus has a lot of fun activities weekly and it keeps the college life fresh and fun. Dorms are good, while others are just decent. Applying early gives your first picks on the good dorms.

Bang for the buck

I guess you can say you get a Bang for the Buck. Considering the courses offered and the experience you get along with it is worth the price, but be aware of the cafeteria and the convenience store. Cafeteria food is decent and kinda pricey and though the convenience store is convenient, it'll put a dent in your pocket.

Am enjoying being here

SUNY Delhi is a beautiful place. Green trees and grass everywhere, nice scenary during all seasons, but the school is located on a very large hill. To walk to town is a hassle and to walk back up is VERY exhausting. Delhi is in the middle of nowhere and the closest mall is nearly an hour away. There are a few stores nearby like a dollar store and a supermarket, a MacDonald's, a Pizza hut and few other things. The gym is located at the very top of the campus and of course that's a journey itself just to get up there. Seems like a lot of construction is going on as the years go on, but it's for the better.

Am learning a lot

Bottom line. The professor's know EXACTLY what they are doing. These men and women of Veterinarian Science carry a vast amount of knowledge and are willing to teach everything that they know. You may enter thinking that you know everything, but they have so much information to offer, it makes every class worth it and interesting because you'll never stop learning. Classes are fun, teachers are wonderful and courses great.

Kinesthetic learners, enjoy small towns.

Tips for prospective students

Just get out there and make new friends, work hard and enjoy what you're going to school for.

Bang for the buck

Delhi is a relatively cheap school, and if you work hard enough in your academics, the scholarships and aid are put to good use, leaving you with little to no costs at all.

Will enjoy being here

Everyone seems very friendly and willing to answer any questions asked. Although it may be a distance from home and Delhi is a relatively small town, it makes room for new friends to be made.

Will learn a lot

I am looking to major in the vet tech science. Not only is SUNY Delhi the first college in New York to be accredited for its curriculum in this major, but previous students have told me that this school is amazing in the department. The small classes and close atmosphere allow students to get one-on-one attention from professors if needed, and close-knit relationships with fellow students.

If you want to go here, make sure to send in your deposits early so that you can have prime room selection. Gerry and Dubois Halls have the best location for residence halls on campus since they're close to the food halls and academic halls.

Bang for the buck

Being a SUNY school, it's very affordable, but just like with other colleges, the food isn't always worth what they charge for it.

Am enjoying being here

It's a really hilly campus and that sometimes is a pain, especially if you want to walk downtown.

Am learning a lot

Most of my classes are great because my professors are knowledgeable, but you always run the risk of being in class with people who just don't want to be there in college and that kinda ruins the experience.
